Hazeron Starship, the singleplayer version of Shores of Hazeron, has gone public on the Steam store. If you are interested in it, it would be helpful if you wishlist it.

Haxus has not announced anything on the forum about it yet, but the store page has a release date of 2023-12-01.

To the best of our knowledge, Hazeron Starship won't have multiplayer support on release. Haxus has however talked about hopefully implementing some form of multiplayer after releasing the game.

Haxus has finally returned after months of being away. He announced that the Hazeron MMO will shutdown some time this month.

Haxus will focus on getting Hazeron Starship, the singleplayer version of Hazeron, on Steam in Q1 of 2023.

He says he is considering to implement "LAN play" for Hazeron Starship in a future update after releasing on Steam.

The Shores of Hazeron MMO is back online!

Account creation and payment system has not been restored yet. Accounts from universe 6 (and maybe universe 5) still exist and have all been credited with 30 days of gametime.

Haxus just out of nowhere announced that he will be bringing the Shores of Hazeron servers back online by the end of February.

We don't have a lot more information about this yet. This is the first we hear from Haxus is half a year.

Will give more information once we know more and schedule an event for the launch if we get a set date.

I am in the process of bringing the Shores of Hazeron servers back up. Their new home is currently being prepared.

Reconstruction of the server rack is also needed. The computers have been sitting cold in my barn, right where I dumped them a year ago. If the equipment still works, we'll be good to go.

That is all moving along. Servers will probably be back up by the end of February.

Yesterday on 2021-01-20 the Shores of Hazeron game servers were shutdown, along with the website, forums and wiki.

The information we have is limited, and we don't know the exact cause of why the game was shutdown so suddenly. The following is the only messages we have gotten.

The main source of information we have is an email Haxus, the developer, sent the writer and I:

Shores of Hazeron servers and web site were taken off line today. They will not be back.

I am not sure about the future of Hazeron Starship. I'll bring back the wiki if needed for Hazeron Starship.

Thank you for your assistance gentlemen. I apologize for changing plans unexpectedly. Sometimes unexpected things happen.

I received the lore book, [writer]. I will read it carefully.

In-game the servers were just shutdown with the following message[discord.com] alongside its countdown:

Well, this is it everyone. Shores of Hazeron is shutting down forever. It's been a fun ride. Thanks for playing.

Haxus had warned that the Shores of Hazeron MMO would return to pay-to-play, or maybe even be shutdown once Hazeron Starship was released. However this was sudden and unexpected, we can only hope that Haxus is ok.

In the email Haxus said that the future of Hazeron Starship is uncertain, and I have yet to hear more from him about it. But I am still hopeful that he will be able to release Hazeron Starship at some point.

Given that most of the information about Hazeron Starship vanished with the forums. I might compile some information about it in another announcement post later if there is interest or news about it.

The Shores of Hazeron Discord server[discord.gg] will remain up, if anyone wants to talk or discuss other games that might fill the void.
